As Leeds United reportedly prepare to ramp up their interest in Rangers winger Ryan Kent [Scottish Sun], there’s one group of people more in the know than anyone else – Celtic fans on Twitter.
Our Old Firm rivals are regularly ridiculed for obsessively jumping on every Rangers story and fantasising about the finances behind the scenes at Ibrox.
After the Yorkshire club’s reported £10m bid was booted out of Ibrox, Twitter has been awash with rival fans who seem to know everything about the deal from Kent’s contract to Rangers’ finances.
Our Old Firm rivals are all hot and bothered about us potentially selling a player who has caused them great damage over the last few seasons.
Whether it’s questioning his ability, doubting the legitimacy of any bids or claiming we are under pressure to sell for peanuts, there are hordes of Celtic fans swarming over this story.
Here are some of the highlights:

The paranoia, the obsession, the completely made-up subplots with no substance – it’s a sight to behold.
Whenever there is a major Rangers story in the press you can be rest assured that there will be some wild narrative surrounding it being driven by Celtic fans.
There is no other set of supporters in world football so intensely devoted to misrepresenting and obsessing over the finer details of their rivals than Celtic’s.
Not that Rangers fans particularly care.
The Ibrox support might be cringing through the gaps in their fingers, but at least they’re getting a good laugh amid genuine concerns one of their key men could leave the club.
